Dear
Families,
I hope you had a wonderful Halloween celebration
on Tuesday! Thank you to Nate's mom for sending a picture of him all dressed up ready to trick or treat! So sweet :) Many students shared with me their excitement and all the fun
they had with their family and friends! I'm delighted to hear everyone was safe and had a blast!
Halloween Celebration:
Halloween Celebration:
Thank you to the families of Bailey, Grace, Nate, Sydney, and Carson for taking the time, energy,
and loving thought to provide some treats for our Halloween PARTY!
We appreciate and devoured the goodies, YUM! We need to burn off our energy so we enjoyed a class dance party during period 6! Many kids have spectacular groovin' thriller dance moves!
Thank you to all the families who donated a toonie to
help support the Georgian Humane Society. You have and are continuing to
make a difference, it is appreciated!! Our class raised $30.00.
WOWIE!
Halloween Blow Ups Party for Kindergarten
to Grade 3:
Another
year, Mrs. Kitchener went above and beyond to provide students and staff with
an amazing display of Halloween blow ups in our school gym. This was my second experience with this spectacular event. I was
in awe of the set-up, decorations, spirit, and hard work that was put into
this. A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Kitchener, staff who were involved, and
the school spirit squad kids in helping make this event spooooooktacular!
'Success Criteria' for Learning
Skills & Work Habits:
This week, I had
students work in small groups to collaborate as a team to come up with
their own 'Expectations' and 'Criteria' of what each Learning Skill
"Looks Like, Sounds Like, and Feels Like." The purpose of
this activity is to encourage students to set their own goals to help them
reinforce their strengths and improve their achievement in the areas of:
- Responsibility
- Independent Work
- Collaboration
- Initiative
- Organization
- Self-Regulation
We will be referring
to their 'Criteria' that they've established throughout the
school year! I believe in the importance and value of having my
students' input and voices heard. I strongly feel this activity
will serve as a purposeful tool in helping the kids put effective work habits
into place to achieve their personal best in their academic,
social and behavioural learning.
Below are some pictures
of students working collaboratively to come up with ideas for each learning skill! We'll have a closer look at these
when I see parents for their child's student-led conference the week of Nov. 13th-
17th. I look forward to it!
Graphing:
It was an exciting time during
math this week! Students had the opportunity to create their own survey
question, collect data from their peers, create a graph, and finally, interpret
and analyze their findings. Check them out as they worked in pairs to share their math journals below.
At home, you may wish to have your child
practice making their own survey’s, collecting data from family members, making
a graph (pictograph or bar graph), and explaining their findings. This can help reinforce their learning from this unit of math.
Student-Led Conferences:
